chris12018 Pillar of the Community United States 2130 Posts	Posted 02/26/2009 8:31 pm I was wondering .I have a Jefferson Whitman book 1938 - 1961, as I was looking through it I noticed that the dates 1942P,1942S,1943P,1943D,1943S,1944P,1944D,1944S,1945P,1945D, & 1945S have the word silver under these dates. So I was wondering if those dates were only made in silver. Report this Post to the Staff

norseman012 Valued Member United States 357 Posts	Posted 02/26/2009 8:40 pm yes only those date had silver in them because they need the nickel metal for such things as magnetos in the planes during WWII. Report this Post to the Staff
ErrorCoins222 Pillar of the Community United States 1699 Posts	Posted 02/26/2009 8:41 pm Yes those are the only dates that are made of silver. The composition in 40% Silver and in average condition somebody might pay $0.50 to $1.50 for it. Report this Post to the Staff
